My 2013 Christmas card letter:
Twas the year 2013 at the Pilloud family home
Jasper was born, while Mya obsessed over a gnome.
Roger began a new career with the WIT,
and Melanie enjoys her mat leave benefit.
Born premature, Jasper was hospitalized longer than expected,
From infections to jaundice the nurses made sure he was never neglected.
He finally came home to stay and made our family so happy,
And it was time as Melanie was getting so sappy.
He’s seven months now and is growing so fast,
the size of a one year old, but he’s having a blast.
Rolling and laughing and beginning to sit on his own,
He loves his big sister, you can tell by his tone.
Mya is potty trained, it started soon
after she turned two,
And though there’s been accidents, there’s been very few.
She sings and she plays, but loves to dance the best,
So we enrolled her in dance class to put her skills to the test.
Our little chatterbox, she repeats every word,
Her speech is easy to understand even when she’s quite slurred.
She’s learning her shapes and colours and can count 1, 2, 3,
Her favourite is the alphabet and asks: “Won’t you sing with me?”

Roger is almost a year in his new
position,
as a Grain Marketing Rep, he enjoys the competition.
At the end of the day is his favourite part,
As Mya runs into his arms – she truly holds his heart.
He frequently tackles our home renovations,
Including a front deck of his and his brother’s creation.
Next to come is a kitchen remodel,
With any luck it will go smoothly and leave us free of a squabble.
He spends his free time working out and watching sports on tv,
He’s recovering well from his knee surgery.

Although each day brings a new set of drama,
Melanie longs to be a stay-at-home momma.
She sews lots of blankets and cooks family grub,
And has recently joined another book club.
Writing is a passion as she started a new blog,
